for moms of babies w reflux

how is the issue now that babies are older?I am exhausted. My baby's reflux has not improved. he was on Zantac for some time. I only helped with the extreme arching.We tried rice cereal but it didn't make any difference.he still spits a lot. It is like it is hard to plan on play time or taking him out or anything as he throws and throws a lot.Dr is not worried and he just calls him a happy spitter as his weight gain has been stable.But I am going crazy. I watch other babies and their moms seems to have an easier time as they are able to put them down after feeding. I need to heold him, wipe him, wipe my clothes ..I can never be clean

I hope it got better for some of newWasn't it supposed to be gone by months 5/6?

It's definitely hard. I'm so sick of him spitting up and we decided to let him play even if he spits up because he'd get upset being held. It was difficult over Christmas because a lot of family avoids my son because of the spit up. There were a lot of babies born this year in my family and they all got attention and my son didn't. I've noticed that over the last month or so the amount and frequency of spit up has decreased, finally. He now spits up comparable to what I've seen other people's babies do when they say they are spitters. They have no idea! I've spent a lot of time researching and found that spit up is supposed to gradually decrease until it stops around 8 to 10 months. Though it can go on for up to a year or more. My son is also on Zantac, which takes away the pain. His weight gain has been steady, so our doctor isn't worried. There's hope! Also, our babysitter found that putting him down for a nap after he eats helped keep his food down a lot.

My DS has done better on Prilosec then the Zantac but continues to spit up! When it increases we know he needs an increase in his dose. The frustrating part is how he can not be 5 muns without a bib and I have to soakhis bibs each night from daycare or I end up with set in stains! He is also behind the other kids his age as far as sitting up bc we avoid tummy time because all he does is throw up then cry! I CANT wait until this goes away!!!

I noticed the same about naps but then he will spit 2 hours after he ateSorry that other family members didnt give your baby as much attention as the others.I carry kitchen towels and they are the only ones that help

My son is 6 months and his is gone now, sorry, not trying to brag, but I wanted to tell you we used "colic calm" gripe water and it was our miracle worker and life saver. Don't know if perhaps you tried it early on, but might be worth a shot. GL! Hope it gets better soon!!

Awwww poor little guy. That's too bad. I really hope things change for you soon. That is a very frustrating thing for mama and baby. I can't believe your family shy'd away from him over it. Our family just grabbed a bath towel to cover up with first. GL!
